The new season of 24 started last night on Sky One with a double bill. If you haven't seen it yet, be aware that the next sentance may spoil it for you.
It didn't take long to get going with David Palmer and Michelle Dessler being killed off in the first 15 minutes, and Tony Almeda in a critical condition! I reckon it has to rate as one of the best starts to a series I've ever seen.
It's the first time I've watched 24 on the TV. Normally I watch them on DVD (Kate has bought all of the first four seasons). There are two bad points about seeing them on TV. Number one is the adverts, although they do space the episodes out to make them nearer to the real time that they are meant to be. Number two is having to wait a whole week for the next episode. I want to see what happens now!!! (By the way that is not an invitation for those who have already seen the next few episodes to email me and spoil it.)
More work has been going on with my website behind the scenes. It's now directly accessible from bengamblin.com and bengamblin.co.uk as opposed to those address simply redirecting to bengamblin.org.uk.
I've also taken out the part of the url containing /php/ to make individual pages slightly easier to remember if needed.
I've also got a customised 404 error page so people arriving at the site from an invalid search engine link can still navigate around, and I've learnt how to password protect certain areas so my admin section is more secure than before.
I still need to work on getting the images back onto the site and reinstating the Ben On The Radio section. Both of these I've been putting off for no particular reason.
